BOLTON & MENK Real People. Real Solutions. October 11, 2017 Mr. Patrick Brama Economic Development Manager City of Ramsey 7550 Sunwood Drive NW Ramsey, Minnesota 55303 RE: City of Ramsey COR Analysis Dear Mr. Brama: 7533 Sunwood Drive NW Suite 206 Ramsey, MN 55303-5119 Ph: (763) 433-2851 Fax: (763) 427-0833 Bolton-Menk.com In reviewing the COR Development Plan dated 5/15/2012, combined with development that has occurred since 2012, there appear to be several components the City may want to analyze further: • Existing roundabout at Sunwood Drive and Ramsey Parkway, • Bunker Lake Boulevard, • Center Street realignment, • Center Street intersection at Ramsey Parkway, • Zeolite Street, • Yolite Street, • Peridot Street, • Veterans Drive, • Veterans Drive parking options, • Earth work calculations (area south of Bunker Lake Blvd., north of Sunwood Dr., west of Center Street, and east of Armstrong Blvd.), and • Public utilities (review existing/planned future sanitary sewer, watermain, and storm water sewer facilities to help ensure cost-effective development). The COR area generally developed from the edges towards the center. Taking a step back to make sure the final pieces fit together appears to be a responsible next step by the City. We have prepared the following scope of services based on adding a series of tasks to our current analysis. We essentially will review the entire COR area, with a heavier focus on the undeveloped portions. SCOPE OF SERVICES The expanded work scope includes: • Receive all record drawings, GIS information and other date the City has on file for developed properties, public infrastructure and previous studies in the COR area. • Create a base drawing based on plats, aerial photography and other information available from the City.
